@@khian_cute2157 you are abdulutly right concerning him being a fighter and a trainer, he is both, i think he still fights but i am not really sure bout that but when it comes to being a trainer most of us martial artists end up being trainers to help others experience the self confidence we gained through training martial arts, respect
The writers actually have around 22 yrs of martial arts experience combined, and they even act out the fight scenes before drawing them too! hence the quality of the fight scenes
I like to think this is how the author does his work: "Sir, why do you have cooling pack and boxing gloves?" "Lmao trust me, this shit gonna look good on the manga. Now square up."
@@kentinson1670 I remember a panel in the manga where a character uses another character's own arm to submit him and they were doing it over and over again to some poor dude in their staff to get the shot right
@@SirLoinCloth i agree, unfortunately they cut out legitimate fights and characters as a whole that have brewing sub-plots (for example medicine man, he has a side plot that looks like it could turn into a ginuine plot twist yet he isnt even in the anime)
It’s always great when someone actually explains why x did y instead of just acknowledging that it happened it really shows that you know what you’re talking about.
How would be they reacting to Gaolang vs El Dorado Carlos Medel? I want to know if Carlos Medel strategy (light weight) and Capoeira really works. But this fight just have in manga
@@thatoneasianguyineveryspac8450 the gaolang vs medel fight happened in the sequel so it’s probably several years until it’s animated since the second half of ashura hasn’t been animated yet
Kanoh Agito vs Ōkubo Naoya shows that the writers and animators worked hard on presenting legit martial arts technique in this anime fight scene. Therefore, we worked as best as we can to pay respect to their efforts by presenting a professional breakdown. Superb job by Yabako Sandrovich and Daromeon.
Just to clarify some things that came up. Just in case some people haven't seen Kengan Ashura or read the Manga and don't necessarily know the context for things. Kanoh's lack of leg-locking while mounted, and lack of good ground control wasn't a lack of understanding on the author's part. It's to show that Kanoh, while being a fighter with serious skills and incredible conditioning, is not actually experienced in this kind of combat, and is figuring it out as he goes. Closest comparison is to Yujiro Hanma, except Kanoh's observably learning and developing in fights as he goes, instead of just having those abilities credited to him so he looks strong. It actually in canon makes people quit the Kengan matches, because the idea he's learnt, mastered and countered their best techniques in the space of seconds psychs them out. Similar to this, is why he's okay with being mounted and beat on for portions of this, while just watching. The dude's incredibly physically and mentally conditioned. He can take punches far heavier then Okubo can give, and stay up. Even the fake shot to the pretty hard overhand, which physically tilts him, just surprises him. Doesn't even come close to knocking him out, he's just shocked that it happened. Okubo, being an experienced MMA fighter, knows to look at his opponents' previous fights. He picks out that Kanoh's almost always fought on his feet, so he puts it into his advantage by going to wrestling and groundwork to tie him up and give himself advantage. Unfortunately, Okubo doesn't know about Kanoh's observational abilities, or Kanoh knows enough to avoid being put into an impossible situation and to avoid losing control. Kanoh is able to stay in, gets enough time to study Okubo's strategy and techniques, attempts to end the fight, fails, reads the pattern, provides a fake opening that he knows Okubo will take, counters with the right while Okubo shoots, then throws him to take mount, but Okubo's already out. The scary face is due to some form of Dissociative Identity Disorder that he picked up to cope with some of the worse things he's done. Because despite being almost entirely alienated from modern society, almost never socialized and looking like the God of all Edgelords, he's quite a nice person. Hence the transition from being quite reserved and tactical, into being very aggressive and controlling. It also allows him to use his "Formless" style of striking (think like what Systema was supposed to be, mixed with drunken boxing), which makes it harder to read what he's doing, harder to react to and block blows, and lets him provide a false opening to Okubo without it being a clear trap. Amusingly, there is some suggestion that his D.I.D makes him even more difficult to knock out. He has a couple situations where he takes pretty bad blows and his other half comes out, slightly confused. Considering it's an anime, he's either been psyched out to the point of switching up, or he's a two-stage boss and you need to beat both halves.
Yes, and he uses his formless style to come up with countermeasures against specific techniques, like Okubo's MMA or Gaolan's boxing-muay thai combination
well, that Dissociative Identity Disorder is his way to cope with the battle royale match that make him who he is, other than that Kano is quite a good person and a loyal warrior
Also, him not having a reliable style that he believes in becomes a detriment as he slowly learns more and more, he starts becoming this weird combination of too many techniques which causes him to start getting slow as he starts to get confused over which punch to throw, which style's punch is best suited etc
@@familyguysofunny1933 hes basically that shapeshifter but he's way better because instead of shapeshifting and instantly learning the enemies' moves, he adapts and counters the enemies' attacks

That would be 100% appreciative. We plan to do more Kengan Ashura and anime breakdowns and we'd love to hear some anime fight scene recommendations here or on our Discord.
On the Agito full mount defence, Agito is a forward thinker with his Martial Art style (his grin is when he switches to Formless style) and based on what Okubo has done with his MMA fighting style and set so far. Agito used a swaying double-arm boxing technique to think about his next move. Letting Okubo lean forward more while putting more strength in the punches, allowed Agito to hip-pop Okubo off of him, knowing that any other move or counter would put him back to square one.
Thank you for the support! We try not to get too worked up on our total subscribers or views (of course the more the better) but we truly enjoy making these breakdowns for you. Just knowing that you enjoy our content and is willing to like, subscribe and engage, means a lot to us.
The demonstration punch in 14:35 is so stiff and thoughtful it reminds me of that scene where Saitama is going to punch Genos and stops at the right time.
@@danielortega6656 yo I just messages the film director of the anime on Instagram and told him that I support him, you should to, I used Google translate for it
Honestly think this has the most exposure of anything kengan related, so glad even non fans get to see how great it is, greatest fighting manga of all time come at me
I love martial arts anime like Kenichi, Hajime no Ippo, Fist of the Northern Star, and Baki but hands down Kengan Ashura has the most "realistic" representation of martial arts while still maintaining an air of fiction with the way they fight.
Kengan:-let's create some realistic fighting Baki:-punch stops earthquake wait till next Kengan Ashura season gets released.Kanoh vs Gaolang/Gensai is gonna be E P I C
It’s a whole other type of brain power. An MMA fighter might not be able to write a thesis on physics but if you asked them how to fight and why to use techniques and each step the achieve a submission. A champ could probably write a thesis on that.
@@whyareyoubothering its really incredible. A lot of sports have in depth iq but mma is suoer interesting to study even casually. Makes you think about movement in everyday life and if you can apply it to an altercation you can win against any normal person with basic jujitsu. Evem if its just to defend yourself
1:07 I’m glad I’m not the only one who was surprised to see how realistic some of the styles in the series were. It always catches me off guard when anime actually takes the time to put in legitimate effort into researching how realistic fighting styles, grappling especially, work in application. Instead of just copy and pasting what dragon ball did and doing the “ORA ORA” thing with the unseeable punches
Thank you! We also did other Kengan Ashura breakdowns like Cosmo vs Adam Dudley th-cam.com/video/lDzZPA8XRgY/w-d-xo.html and Cosmo vs Akoya Seishu th-cam.com/video/n0iVoMRXjyo/w-d-xo.html for you to enjoy and subscribe!
I do kinda like how Kengan Ashura is what most of us imagined MMA would be originally. Masters of specific martial arts fighting it out together. Unfortunately it too often showed the flaw in most of them. There is no such thing as "Minimum effort, maximum damage" in straight up fighting. Maybe if we had reflexes that were twice what we have now we could see snazzy fighting and reactionary blocks and dodges. Then again Kengan Ashura also does bring this to light as well, with the best fighters generally capable of mixing martial arts to fit their needs. Kanoh is one of them. Ohkubo is a beast as well and easily one of my favorites. I do hope Kengan Omega gets an anime adaption with a high level of quality as well. Would be fun to see the realistic and "unrealistic" battle styles shown. Kanoh has an amazing fight here as well. There's also Sambo which I do not know much about, but what we see in the Manga it looks really efficient.
And then you Julius, a muscular behemoth of a fighter who didn't learn martial arts because he considers them useless compared to raw power. And, unlike similar characters wih a similar mentality, he is not an idiot and knows what he is doing. Indeed, he doesn't need them.
Well they have a good mixture of practical and impractical martial arts. Ohma, Okubo, Cosmo, Agito, Gaolang etc all have very practical fighting styles while people like Kiryu, hair dude, the doctor and a lot of others have some styles which are just anime bullshit
This is the first time i’ve legitimately learned techniques properly through a video. Both of you explain and show all the techniques conversely and clearly. Keep up the great work, this is the content I subscribed for!
Thank you! We also did Cosmo vs Dudley th-cam.com/video/lDzZPA8XRgY/w-d-xo.html and Cosmo vs Akoya th-cam.com/video/n0iVoMRXjyo/w-d-xo.html so check those out and subscribe to the channel for more!
If i remember correctly, Okubo got out of that hold because Agito let him, I forgot if it was because he wanted a challenge and handicapped himself or if it was because he wanted to evolve by seeing Okubo at his best
This is such a cool fight and I loved the analysis on it. Definitely going to be watching more of this channel. Also since you guys reacted to an anime fight, maybe you could react to fight scenes in other media too, like videogames. Metal Gear Solid 4 has a really cool hand to hand fight scene at the very end of it that incorporates a lot of throws and strikes. It would be super awesome to see an analysis on a fight like that. Anyway, you guys are great and keep doing your thing.
We are always looking into video game breakdowns. We are huge gamers so feel free to recommend in the comment below or on our Discord. Thank you so much for the comment and support. It really means a lot to us when you engage with the channel!
I really enjoy seeing these breakdowns. When you go into anime you already know stuff's gonna be exaggerated or straight up fake, but seeing how much real stuff is actually in the mix makes me appreciate the creator's efforts even more. Okubo is supposed to be a textbook MMA fighter, and the creators did an amazing job for that.

The explanation of what the fighters are trying to do and the dangers of their moves adds incredibly to the tension of the scene and the high stakes. I was literally butt clenching by the end of the video. Bravo.
@@ScenicFights Of course! I loved it. Another recomendation for breakdown is Cosmo Imai vs Seishu Akoya. Its not all grappling like this fight, but has moments of good grappling.
One thing I love about eren vs armored titan is that while you can see his combat skill improved you can also see he's still has a lot of practice to do. He doesn't magically master martial arts in a relatively short period of time but he does improve
My background being in wrestling, both the fight scene and your breakdown was a special delight to watch! Chad's a bloody good instructor, gotta say Funnily enough, we use both version of the hip toss (at least in freestyle wrestling which is what I'm most familiar with, anyhow). What you demonstrated as the judo variant runs under the name and your wrestling variant is what we (at least here in Hungary) call a lecsavarás/wrenchdown. Both got their own niche, wrenching down your opponent is often a better way to lay them out while making them achieve liftoff scores more points and leaves a bit less room for counters.
Really appreciate this comment and for sharing your knowledge on freestyle wrestling. Let us know if there are any other fight scenes you’d like to see us breakdown and make sure to subscribe!

This is the scene that convinced me 3D anime has a place, the smooth fluidity and transitions during the ground game is excellent. Ty for the break down.
I hope this gets the show enough views for part 3. This is a great show. Edit: i think this is your best video yet. I feel i learned a lot more from this than other videos.
The coolest thing is that your thought process was exactly the same as Okubo's in the fight, without any audio. You also half guessed Agito's main ability just by watching the video, once again without audio. Do the Hatsumi VS Chiba fight!
I love how he zooms in to the face when it comes to serious analysis details. For example, the breaking of an arm or a special grapple that will be essential to winning a fight. Good camera work really caught my attention
Next time do the Eren vs Armored Titan fight from Season 2 Episode 7 of Attack on Titan, it showed several realistic and accurate BJJ techniques, the author even flat out stated he is a big MMA fan. It would be even better if you include the techniques showed in the training flashback mid fight.
Your an awesome teacher chad. Being able to break it down the way you do makes it so you understand WHY your making certain movements. Whether it's an angle your trying to get, or something your trying to make your opponent do, you make all of the complicated parts make so much more sense.
Fun fact: at 12:42 Okubo actually does something of a double fake out. He pretends to be going for what looks like a right hook, then goes down into a grab, then into an overhead strike.
Holy shit this video is amazing. I don't think people know how much effort Kengan put into their fights. Good to see people like you putting for the effort to show people.
I said it a couple months ago and i'll say it again. You deserve to blow up man. Great breakdowns. Entertaining, Informative, Straight to the point. You both got something special right here.

This was an amazing breakdown. Came for entertainment, got out with a master class. Those explanations are so detailed. Never knew MMA would be that critical
Thank you! Please subscribe and hit that notification bell so we can continue to do more anime breakdowns! Is there any other anime you'd like to see us breakdown next? We did an Attack on Titan one here too: th-cam.com/video/p_Gg5vgamxI/w-d-xo.html
I've got to say, one of the best episodes to date. You could really see how much fun you guys had breaking down the fight and explaining everything. Great work Scenic Fights, keep it up
Thank Luis! We really enjoy doing these fight scene breakdowns and we have more fight scenes for you coming soon so subscribe and let us know what you'd like to see us review next!
@@ScenicFights already looking forward to it!! By the way it would be great to see some fights from the Undisputed series, such as the Undisputed 2 final fight scene between Michael Jai White and Scott Atkins
Kengan ashura is underrated af
It looks so bad tho, its not doing justice to these tenicques because the movement is wonkey
ONG!
@@coravasicorava3400 netflix 3d sucks
Go read the manga then
@@coravasicorava3400 I think it looks good
Whoever recommended this is a legend.
Shoutout to our Discord user Ohma Tokita ダンテブラック for recommending Kengan Ashura to us.
@@ScenicFights lmao the username. No wonder it was him who recommended it.
You give MAJOR kudos to the discord user that suggested you do this. Instant sub. I'm sharing this in some nerd groups as well. This shit is phenomenal content for anime fans. Bravo.
That would be 100% appreciative. We plan to do more Kengan Ashura and anime breakdowns and we'd love to hear some anime fight scene recommendations here or on our Discord.
On the Agito full mount defence, Agito is a forward thinker with his Martial Art style (his grin is when he switches to Formless style) and based on what Okubo has done with his MMA fighting style and set so far. Agito used a swaying double-arm boxing technique to think about his next move. Letting Okubo lean forward more while putting more strength in the punches, allowed Agito to hip-pop Okubo off of him, knowing that any other move or counter would put him back to square one.
I've said it and I will say it again. This channel is one of the most underrated channels right now. Appreciate the hard work.
Sweeeet, thanks!
Thank you for the support! We try not to get too worked up on our total subscribers or views (of course the more the better) but we truly enjoy making these breakdowns for you. Just knowing that you enjoy our content and is willing to like, subscribe and engage, means a lot to us.
The demonstration punch in 14:35 is so stiff and thoughtful it reminds me of that scene where Saitama is going to punch Genos and stops at the right time.
Chad is Saitama confirmed.
Man, the season 3 has been confirmed and Agito vs Gaolang is probably one of the best in the series hope you guy make a reaction video to it
We cannot wait!
Pretty much all of the season 3 fights ended up amazing!
This was hands down my favorite fight in the whole series and really shows off the effectiveness of both wrestling and boxing blended perfectly
the manga has even better fights
Kengan Ashura is really underrated and needs to appreciated
I read manga but anime is mostly thrash
#facts
Yes
Do y'all know when season 3 is coming bc it's been a year and a few months
@@danielortega6656 yo I just messages the film director of the anime on Instagram and told him that I support him, you should to, I used Google translate for it
Honestly think this has the most exposure of anything kengan related, so glad even non fans get to see how great it is, greatest fighting manga of all time come at me
I love martial arts anime like Kenichi, Hajime no Ippo, Fist of the Northern Star, and Baki but hands down Kengan Ashura has the most "realistic" representation of martial arts while still maintaining an air of fiction with the way they fight.
Kanoh Agitos formless style is called “Zero range combat”. For anyone wondering what it is in real life
The camera man is cracking me up. The cut to immediately zooming in on Chad's face when he turns to look at the camera is priceless
It also makes breaking the arm.... *very easy*
"This makes breaking his arm" *zooms in* "very easy"
7:11 " _This will also make breaking the arm ver_- **crack**
_"o h"_
Lol
Kengan:-let's create some realistic fighting
Baki:-punch stops earthquake
wait till next Kengan Ashura season gets released.Kanoh vs Gaolang/Gensai is gonna be E P I C
Man I didn't know mma was so cerebral, my brain hurts.
It's human chess.
It’s a whole other type of brain power. An MMA fighter might not be able to write a thesis on physics but if you asked them how to fight and why to use techniques and each step the achieve a submission. A champ could probably write a thesis on that.
@@whyareyoubothering its really incredible. A lot of sports have in depth iq but mma is suoer interesting to study even casually. Makes you think about movement in everyday life and if you can apply it to an altercation you can win against any normal person with basic jujitsu. Evem if its just to defend yourself
Mine to LOL 😂 😂 😂
The best fighters in the world are geniuses. They understand human movement and anatomy and can make split second decisions to gain advantage.
1:07 I’m glad I’m not the only one who was surprised to see how realistic some of the styles in the series were.
It always catches me off guard when anime actually takes the time to put in legitimate effort into researching how realistic fighting styles, grappling especially, work in application. Instead of just copy and pasting what dragon ball did and doing the “ORA ORA” thing with the unseeable punches
I didn't even think about the whole pattern thing and that made me realize how differently a martial artist thinks.
I love how he educates us with self defense
Thank you! We also did other Kengan Ashura breakdowns like Cosmo vs Adam Dudley th-cam.com/video/lDzZPA8XRgY/w-d-xo.html and Cosmo vs Akoya Seishu th-cam.com/video/n0iVoMRXjyo/w-d-xo.html for you to enjoy and subscribe!
I do kinda like how Kengan Ashura is what most of us imagined MMA would be originally. Masters of specific martial arts fighting it out together. Unfortunately it too often showed the flaw in most of them. There is no such thing as "Minimum effort, maximum damage" in straight up fighting. Maybe if we had reflexes that were twice what we have now we could see snazzy fighting and reactionary blocks and dodges. Then again Kengan Ashura also does bring this to light as well, with the best fighters generally capable of mixing martial arts to fit their needs. Kanoh is one of them. Ohkubo is a beast as well and easily one of my favorites.
I do hope Kengan Omega gets an anime adaption with a high level of quality as well. Would be fun to see the realistic and "unrealistic" battle styles shown. Kanoh has an amazing fight here as well. There's also Sambo which I do not know much about, but what we see in the Manga it looks really efficient.
And then you Julius, a muscular behemoth of a fighter who didn't learn martial arts because he considers them useless compared to raw power. And, unlike similar characters wih a similar mentality, he is not an idiot and knows what he is doing. Indeed, he doesn't need them.
Well they have a good mixture of practical and impractical martial arts. Ohma, Okubo, Cosmo, Agito, Gaolang etc all have very practical fighting styles while people like Kiryu, hair dude, the doctor and a lot of others have some styles which are just anime bullshit
This is the first time i’ve legitimately learned techniques properly through a video. Both of you explain and show all the techniques conversely and clearly.
Keep up the great work, this is the content I subscribed for!
This has been in my recommended forever and I’m so glad I finally watched it.
Thank you! We also did Cosmo vs Dudley th-cam.com/video/lDzZPA8XRgY/w-d-xo.html and Cosmo vs Akoya th-cam.com/video/n0iVoMRXjyo/w-d-xo.html so check those out and subscribe to the channel for more!
If i remember correctly, Okubo got out of that hold because Agito let him, I forgot if it was because he wanted a challenge and handicapped himself or if it was because he wanted to evolve by seeing Okubo at his best
This is such a cool fight and I loved the analysis on it. Definitely going to be watching more of this channel. Also since you guys reacted to an anime fight, maybe you could react to fight scenes in other media too, like videogames. Metal Gear Solid 4 has a really cool hand to hand fight scene at the very end of it that incorporates a lot of throws and strikes. It would be super awesome to see an analysis on a fight like that. Anyway, you guys are great and keep doing your thing.
We are always looking into video game breakdowns. We are huge gamers so feel free to recommend in the comment below or on our Discord. Thank you so much for the comment and support. It really means a lot to us when you engage with the channel!
One of the best breakdowns I have ever seen because of how knowledgeable you are & the fact you are demonstrating everything you are explaining!
I really enjoy seeing these breakdowns. When you go into anime you already know stuff's gonna be exaggerated or straight up fake, but seeing how much real stuff is actually in the mix makes me appreciate the creator's efforts even more. Okubo is supposed to be a textbook MMA fighter, and the creators did an amazing job for that.
You don't even get THIS much and good explaining in most dojos/gyms. Quality content my guy. Subscribed and will watch some more after this.
We try our hardest to give our best breakdown possible! Glad you enjoy our content. I recommend our Captain American Winter Soldier breakdown too: th-cam.com/video/-Ci6ttRVSRU/w-d-xo.html
never seen this channel before but this was definitely an explosive first video to see. So much knowledge and detailed explanations from these guys along with the demonstrations and charisma that’s just radiating out of this guy. Dope video guys

@@logan607 both of you are incredible! after seeing how skilled you are in the art of edged weapons from a couple other videos it’s clear that you two make an incredibly dynamic duo!
@@happenedsafe6254 But really, a bit more me than him, right?
Also Kenichi, the greatest disciple, is not the most realistic fight wise but they keep the core philosophies and ideas of combat intact. They also teach real ideas like striking range
AAPAACHAIIIIII
Recently finished kenichi. One of my favorites, especially when kenichi actually becomes competitive with his opponents.
@@bbgod2525 its like karate kid, but if he had several masters and a grand master haha
This dude who’s demonstrating to us some moves is so dedicated to his job, I like that!
We love creating these breakdowns for you. All we ask is to subscribe and share with your friends so we can make more content. Is there any other fight scene you'd like to see us breakdown next!?
@@ScenicFights you should react to crow zero genji vs narumi taiga
Chad is definitely doing the same smile in the thumbnail, just a little bit cuter.
I love it.
You made Chad blush.
Was going to follow up with a joke of my own but might be inappropriate. So, I’m just going to say thank you. ☺️
7:22
Chad: "Now I will break my partners arm to show you how easy it is."
Logan:"wait whaa...AAAAARRGGHG"
That fight was the most realistic MMA scene in the 2 seasons so far. Great breakdown.
That fights with Cosmo Imai are amazing too! Season 2 of Kengan Ashura is such a fun anime.
@@ScenicFights I forgot about him. Any jitsu fighter is super fun. Damn Season 3 taking so long -_-
Safe to say one the few channels that makes this level of content
And it's effing good!
I love this channel a lot man
We love you for the support! Hope you subscribe and got your friend to do the same too! Is there any other fight scene that you'd like to see us breakdown next? Let us know here and our discord.
Jezus Christ you really heart almost every comment, why are you so wholesome TT
We really appreciate the support from everyone! It means a lot to us.
The explanation of what the fighters are trying to do and the dangers of their moves adds incredibly to the tension of the scene and the high stakes. I was literally butt clenching by the end of the video. Bravo.
Never thought an anime fight breakdown could be so interesting to watch. Loved the video!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I also recommend our Attack On Titan anime breakdown here: th-cam.com/video/p_Gg5vgamxI/w-d-xo.html
You have to love how youtube is the closest thing to a time machine we have
TH-cam is amazing! (I hope the algorithm loves us as much as we love creating content for TH-cam!)
And you know..the wayback machine
FUCK YEAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!!
Thanks for the Discord request Tobias! Hope you enjoyed our breakdown.
@@ScenicFights Of course! I loved it.
Another recomendation for breakdown is Cosmo Imai vs Seishu Akoya. Its not all grappling like this fight, but has moments of good grappling.
let's gooo
@@ScenicFights pls react to baki
@@muamar6796 When Chad breakdown striking i think.
ngl, attack on titan season 1 (or is it 2?) where eren fought the armored titan was some pretty solid grappling
Yeah that and Annie using Muay Thai in season 1 . And obviously Eren using Bjj or sambo in Season 3.
i'm pretty sure thats cause isayama is a massive fan of mma
Facts
I was literally about to say this
One thing I love about eren vs armored titan is that while you can see his combat skill improved you can also see he's still has a lot of practice to do. He doesn't magically master martial arts in a relatively short period of time but he does improve
Chad’s smile in the thumbnail makes me weak. Awesome content, awesome channel - subbed.
Chad smiled even more when he read this! Much appreciate the support!
😎
@@chadvazquez9284 @Scenic Fights we support y'all!
My background being in wrestling, both the fight scene and your breakdown was a special delight to watch! Chad's a bloody good instructor, gotta say
Funnily enough, we use both version of the hip toss (at least in freestyle wrestling which is what I'm most familiar with, anyhow). What you demonstrated as the judo variant runs under the name and your wrestling variant is what we (at least here in Hungary) call a lecsavarás/wrenchdown. Both got their own niche, wrenching down your opponent is often a better way to lay them out while making them achieve liftoff scores more points and leaves a bit less room for counters.
Really appreciate this comment and for sharing your knowledge on freestyle wrestling. Let us know if there are any other fight scenes you’d like to see us breakdown and make sure to subscribe!
I have been waiting for someone to break these scenes down, so happy
Glad we were able to meet your expectations with the video! If you haven't yet, subscribe and check out our other breakdowns which include John Wick: th-cam.com/video/_aOpGPQFpPM/w-d-xo.html
This is the scene that convinced me 3D anime has a place, the smooth fluidity and transitions during the ground game is excellent.
Ty for the break down.
Breakdown "Kenichi: The Mightiest disciple" or "Baki the Grappler"
Baki the shit anime
I prefer kenichi, specially on the episodes where kenichi is training several martial arts
yea kenichi because i feel its more realistic.
Baki ain't a realistic anime lol
I hope they reboot the "The Mightiest Disciple: Kenichi". I love the fight from Yami organization masters vs Kenichi's Master
I hope this gets the show enough views for part 3. This is a great show. Edit: i think this is your best video yet. I feel i learned a lot more from this than other videos.
Wow, you're a fantastic teacher. Very descriptive yet simple and the way you 2 showcase it makes it much easier to understand, thanks!
The coolest thing is that your thought process was exactly the same as Okubo's in the fight, without any audio. You also half guessed Agito's main ability just by watching the video, once again without audio.
Do the Hatsumi VS Chiba fight!
Chad: "I'm Chad Vasquez"
Logan: "I'm Logan Lo"
Chad: "The minced mint king"
Logan: *shaking his head*
I love how we have martial artist breaking down the fights in kengan ashura but we have doctors breaking down the fights in baki
I love how he zooms in to the face when it comes to serious analysis details. For example, the breaking of an arm or a special grapple that will be essential to winning a fight. Good camera work really caught my attention
I can't express how much I am OBSESSED with this anime and I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO
Next time do the Eren vs Armored Titan fight from Season 2 Episode 7 of Attack on Titan, it showed several realistic and accurate BJJ techniques, the author even flat out stated he is a big MMA fan.
It would be even better if you include the techniques showed in the training flashback mid fight.
Your wish might come true soon.
I just commented on this
Annie taught eren well
I was thinking of commenting this lol
@@chadvazquez9284 I will look forward to it!
I love how detailed chad is with his breakdowns and explanations of each move.
One of favourite kengan ashura fights
It's such a great technical showcase of MMA in anime. Do you have any other good Kengan Ashura fight scenes that you'd like to see us breakdown too?
@@ScenicFights yes Gaolang vs Kaneda and Imai Cosmo vs Akoya
@scenic fights there are tons of fights but they are not yet get anime( more in manga tho)
Your an awesome teacher chad. Being able to break it down the way you do makes it so you understand WHY your making certain movements. Whether it's an angle your trying to get, or something your trying to make your opponent do, you make all of the complicated parts make so much more sense.
Fun fact: at 12:42 Okubo actually does something of a double fake out. He pretends to be going for what looks like a right hook, then goes down into a grab, then into an overhead strike.
ANIME be like when your parents walk in : 3:47
LMAO
YESSSSSSSSS MORE RECOGNITION FOR KENGAN, ITS SUPER UNDERRATED.
I just love how you teach. I consider you my 25% sensei from now on. thank you sensei
Thank you 25% student!
Holy shit this video is amazing. I don't think people know how much effort Kengan put into their fights. Good to see people like you putting for the effort to show people.
I said it a couple months ago and i'll say it again. You deserve to blow up man. Great breakdowns. Entertaining, Informative, Straight to the point. You both got something special right here.
We really appreciate it. Thanks for stopping by, watching the video, leaving a comment and subscribing. Those things increases the chances of TH-cam promoting us more. Again, thank you for continuing to engage with our channel.
Thanks, man.
really love all these explanations, one suggestion tho, maybe after explaining a move like those hip techniques, maybe you guys can show a clip from a real fight of somebody using that?
Kengan ashura seems to be the few anime to uses real life martial arts, without most of it being power up bullshit, only Kure and ohma has a power up
Hanafusa being essentially Wolverine :P
@@gaiusjuliuspleaser not to mention bando who is literally an avatar joints bender
Watching this actually made me feel like I was back in Karate school. Amazing teaching

I just found this channel today and I have to say this is a great video.

Very knowledgeable & informative. Glad You guys are still around.
